Securing Wi-Fi Networks - A System Approach

Wi-Fi security attacks, hacking, stolen mobile devices – are these keeping you awake at nights? Are you surprised that Wi-Fi networks can be more secure than your wired networks? Wireless LAN has come a long way from the days of its inception with inadequate security.

Contrary to common belief, security is not a single protocol or an appliance or an encryption. It is a system of different components working together to ensure your Wi-Fi network is secure and your confidential information is protected.

As the scale, sophistication, and targeting of cyber-attacks increase, organisations need to manage risk in ways beyond those traditionally handled by the information security function.

In this webinar, Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF will offer his insights into how security and business teams across the entire organisation can work together to minimise the impact of a breach, in order to protect organisations from damaging shareholder value and business reputation.

Demand for cloud services continues to increase as the benefits of cloud services change the way organisation manage their data and use of IT.

However, while these services can be implemented quickly and easily, with increased legislation and data privacy, the threat of cyber theft is on the increase and organisations must have a clear understanding of where their information is stored and how reliant these services are.

In this webinar, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF will discuss the risks associated with cloud computing and how to manage them, as well as how to maximise the benefits.

With the ever-increasing security threats to organisations, business leaders need to have a comprehensive data security strategy to protect themselves.

In order to prevent, detect and respond to breaches, organisations must focus on the basics such as software updates and patches, as well as build awareness within the organisation to ensure employees are educated on cybersecurity best practices.

In this webinar, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF will discuss what actions can be taken to prevent and detect a data breach, and how to respond to a breach in order to reduce damage to brand and reputation, as well as how to mitigate the impact of a breach.

With the EU's GDPR deadline upon us, what have organisations put in place to ensure they are compliant, and how can they ensure they stay compliant from now into the future?

In this webinar, Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF will discuss how organisations need to create a structured method in order to maintain sufficient levels of compliance. Steve will share insights into how organisations can achieve this through:

The board's involvement is absolutely crucial for communicating cybersecurity strategies and overall cybersecurity success.
When boards and CISOs successfully engage, organisations can take advantage of the opportunities presented by cyberspace, as well as address associated risks.

In this webinar, Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF will discuss how the board of directors should lead collaboration and security awareness across the organisation, to help IT and security teams focus on what matters the most to the business, and ensure cybersecurity is embedded into the organisations business strategy.

The expectation from the start of 2017 – that we hadn’t seen the back of ransomware – was justified. 2017 was plagued with global attacks such as Petya, WannaCry, Bad Rabbit and many others. Unfortunately, 2018 could be even worse.

With ransomware continuously developing new delivery techniques, organisations must learn how to prepare and protect themselves from the threat of ransomware, but how can they do this?

In this webinar, Nick Frost, Principal Consultant at the ISF, will explore the latest threats in ransomware and what organisations can do to minimise vulnerabilities to reduce risks of an attack.

About the presenter:

Nick is currently the Principal Researcher for the Information Security Forum (ISF) Ltd. He has more than 15 years’ experience designing and implementing a risk-based approach to securing information. He has developed leading solutions for evaluating risk across both internal and supplier environments.

In the age of Digital Transformation, SD-WAN is on the lips of all enterprises and service providers. While the operational and commercial benefits of SD-WAN are clear, the focus on these as THE consideration is dangerous, as along its benefits comes a greater cyber security risk.

This session will focus on Secure SD-WAN and the built-in benefits it provides, from both the operational and security points of view.

The second part of this webinar will cover the topic "Assessing the Impact of Web-Based Attacks" from the "Analyzing Attacks on Computing and Network Environments" module of the official CFR course.

Before we get to this, the introduction will include an overview of the CyberSec First Responder (CFR) course and certification from Logical Operations. The CFR course prepares IT professionals with the knowledge, ability, and skills necessary to defend information systems in a cybersecurity context, including protection, detection, analysis, investigation, and response processes.

The practicality and value of the certification including its DOD 8570 approval will be highlighted.

TOPICS TO BE COVERED:

- Learn about how the CFR certification from Logical Operations can improve your organization’s information security defensive readiness, response capabilities and investigation to cover all aspects of incident response and analysis including before, during and after the incident.
- Learn why CFR is one of the most practical security certifications available providing excellent ROI
- Learn about types of web based attacks and their impact on your organization
- Learn through using OWASP ZAP to scan a vulnerable website
- Learn by exploiting a vulnerable website using SQL injection and XSS
- Learn about how to get discounted exam vouchers

With the burst of interest into cryptocurrencies, there have been a lot of new users into this innovative world. However, the rush into the space has caused many users to skip key steps in joining the cryptocurrency community, such as understanding what basic security practices they should follow in order to keep themselves and their money secure.

While there are technical steps to take to secure one's funds, there's also a number of things to keep in mind while interacting with the community.

This webinar discussion aims to give beginners in the world of cryptocurrencies tips to better protect themselves, their money, and their sanity.

Multi-party permissioned blockchains present a set of new security challenges for dev ops and system and network administration.

This webinar will cover why a lot of what we already know from securing N-tier architectures also applies to securing permissioned blockchains. It will also cover what is different and new and discuss strategies for the practical defense of these distributed systems.

This session will discuss the generational GAP in Cybersecurity Talent. One of the biggest challenges facing the Cybersecurity Community is filling the GAP as quickly as possible through mentoring and bright talent eager to enter the field with little or no cybersecurity background.

While some hackers crave the attention of a high profile attack or data breach, others prefer to work in shadows either trying to hide their tracks or are indifferent all together.

Regardless, accurately understanding where an attack comes from is very helpful in defending against future attacks. More importantly, when companies and key organizations work together it is possible to tie together a multitude of individual footprints into a single, conclusive trail back to the originator.

This session will focus on the importance of attribution and includes a case study of how a major cyber criminal was taken down, from the lowest foot soldier to the kingpin himself.

Cyber risk isn't new, but the stakes grow higher every day. An incident is no longer likely to be an isolated event, but a sustained and persistent campaign. There is no single solution that will offer protection from an attack, but a Cyber Resilience strategy can provide a multi-layered approach that encompasses people, processes and technology.

Pete Wood will talk about eliminating the gap between IT and the business to present a united front against threats. This is a paradigm shift that uses security intelligence to guide decisions and support agility.
